"It is here."
"It has been sent to speak for The Land."

A national park was given identity by conservationists, and will by the Maelstorm. It has embedded part of its sentience into a small piece of itself, sent to the Cursed Apple to speak for all of Nature's lands, and maybe get the Patron to spread sentience to them, as well.

Medium Health, very low regen and speed.
Base spirit scaling bonus: Health
Weapon: Chunks of earth/concrete fired at rapid speed, with low velocity but long range. Alt-fire: Fires one chunk with a high arc.

=Loaned Will=
"It will turn your concrete jungle against you."
Upon activation, consume all charges. Create one minion per charge. Minions have short ranged attacks and will move down the closest lane.
Medium Cooldown. Base 2 charges.
Low Spirit Scaling: Damage
-1- More charges
-3- Minions gain increased attack range and attempt to follow Geode instead.
-5- Minions gain increased vitality and reduced soul value.

=Regrowth=
"It needs time. And maybe some water."
Passively gain increased health regen while out of combat, up to a maximum value, which resets in combat. Activate to be encased in roots, becoming immobile and immune to displacements and debuffs, parrying charges and melees, and immediately gaining maximum bonus health regen (which can still be reset by combat)
Long Cooldown
Boon Scaling: Bonus regen cap
Low Spirit Scaling: Rooted duration
-1- Reduced Cooldown
-3- Gain resists while rootform
-5- Improved boon and spirit scaling

=Crystallize=
"It will protect you."
Embed crystal chunks in an ally minion or hero, giving them partial damage reflection. Can be self cast. Heavy melees will remove the crystal chunks.
Medium Cooldown
High Spirit Scaling: Cast range, duration
-1- Increased reflection percentage
-3- Targeted ally gains spirit power and health regen
-5- Reduced cooldown when used on an ally hero and not self cast

=Reclamation=
"The Ritual is empowered. It expects compensation."
Crystals (i.e. Rejuv, Bridge buffs) and Sinner vaults are affected by light melee as if they were heavy melee.
When a boss or denizen camp is defeated by an ally, a gem crystal is created at its location. Only one gem crystal per location. Geode can punch the gem crystal to gain Gems as a resource, the gem value based on location. Geode can access a special shop menu inside the Stronghold and purchase upgrades for minions and bosses using gems.
No Cooldown
No Scaling
-1- Increased gem value per crystal
-3- Gem menu can be accessed at any active shop. Gems can be purchased with souls. Immediately gain an amount of gems.
-5- Kills and assists generate gems for Geode automatically

=Possible character interactions=

IVY: Hello!
GEODE: It greets her.
IVY: It?
GEODE: Is she prepared for the Ritual?
IVY: Sh-- me? I ... guess so?
GEODE: It finds her statement acceptable. Victory for them is certain.
IVY: ... Okay!

GEIST: Ugh. It's just a walking hunk of mud.
GEODE: Her roots are dry, her leaves bereft. She is given Life through thievery and foul honor.
GEIST: Don't you dare presume to know me, you monotonous dirtball.
GEODE: It knows her as it knows the hollow oak - only by her bark. But that is enough.
GEIST: Just stay out of my way.

GREY TALON: Are you ready to fight?
GEODE: Yes. Is he?
GREY TALON: Yes.
GEODE: Good.

DYNAMO: Fascinating, a real avatar of genius loci! I would love to have a chat with you after the Ritual.
GEODE: It will exchange information of equal value.
DYNAMO: Of course! You can have copies of any of my research notes.
GEODE: It finds this contract agreeable.

VYPER: Soooo uh, you know where all the emeralds 'n' diamonds 'n' shit are?
GEODE: Yes.
VYPER: You wannaaaaa show me?
GEODE: In exchange for her contribution to the Ritual. Yes.
VYPER: Snrk. Score.

VISCOUS: I'm made of goo! :)
GEODE: It is made of The Land.
VISCOUS: We're friends! :D
GEODE: Yes.
 
Some more interactions

LASH: Don't you worry, little mudball. The Lash will save the day, as usual.
GEODE: If The Lash will bring it victory, then it will support The Lash.

GEODE: It asks him to be careful of his flames.
INFERNUS: Don't worry, Yosemite, I won't burn you.
GEODE: It is appreciative.

GEODE: It recognizes his corpse as one that adventured across its Land while alive.
KELVIN: Everybody's heard of me! Was I impressive?
GEODE: His corpse is carried by an ill omen.
KELVIN: So... you don't want an autograph.

SEVEN: Your origins are inspiring, puppet. I hope to achieve something as grand as you.
GEODE: If he agrees to its terms, it will support him in his ambition.
SEVEN: What are your terms?
GEODE: Few. But important.
SEVEN: Let's talk after the Ritual.
 
I keep thinking up more possible conversations. I think I'm getting too attached to this idea.

THE DOORMAN: If I may--
GEODE: YOU may NOT.
THE DOORMAN: Hm.

BILLY: See, the MAN puts everyone and everyTHING down, and we gotta band together to take HIM down, you feel me?
GEODE: His rage is powerful, yet unfocused, his roots too shallow, his intent too broad.
BILLY: Did you just call me shallow?
GEODE: It can give him aim, if he will in turn give it aid.
BILLY: Bitch I know you did not just say I suck at shooting.

GEODE: The blood on her hands is not as offensive as her apathy.
MCGINNIS: Aww, the future parking lot is mad at me.

ABRAMS: So, what are you, some kind of sentient piece of land?
GEODE: Yes.
ABRAMS: And so you're here to... what? Get rights for yourself?
GEODE: Yes.
ABRAMS: Not much of a talker, are you?
GEODE: Its answers are not sufficient?
ABRAMS: No, it's just.. y'know, we're gonna be fightin', killin', maybe dyin' here. Thought I'd try to get to know who I'm fighting with, like, do you have any likes or dislikes?
GEODE: It acknowledges his concerns... It likes birdsong.
ABRAMS: Yeah?
GEODE: It dislikes talking.
ABRAMS: Okay.

KRILL: Hey, you don't have any problem with Maurice digging and tunnelling through the ground, do you?
GEODE: No. Maurice is Alive, much as the worm and the beaver and the oak.
KRILL: Hmm. Then do you have a problem with the killing?
GEODE: Today, no.

GEODE: Revenge does not work, and she will never be satisfied.
VINDICTA: I don't care what you think of me, as long as you help with the Ritual.
GEODE: On that, they are agreed.
